The girl behind the blog...

Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy reading about my busy life with my husband of 30 years and our four sons and daughter-in-law. We are now empty nesters and my blog is helping me through the journey. I love the Lord and I love my family. I also love to decorate and go to thrift stores!

On Thursday April 13th I went back to work after my Daddy's memorial service. I had a good day, but was a little sad and distracted as I thought about my Daddy being gone. When I got off work and headed to my car, I turned the corner and I noticed this little squirrel chowing down on a nut. He was probably three feet from me.

This was down an alleyway in the middle of downtown in a busy city. My whole life I have seen squirrels in the city, but they always, always, always scamper off as soon as they see me.

But this little guy did not run. He just looked up at me and kept eating. I actually had time to slowly pull out my phone and take a few photos and even take a little video. I was enthralled by him. He made me smile. I took this as a gift from God.

You see, my father loved squirrels and other small animals. Here's a photo of him hand-feeding a little squirrel in his backyard. I took this as a very precious gift from God. In my heart I feel like God will give us little blessings like this to let us know He's watching over us and He cares for us. This little encounter made my day.

"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows." Luke 12:6-7
